Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha member from Nizamabad parliamentary constituency in Telangana Dharmapuri Aravind is facing disqualification from his post for allegedly misleading the Election Commission with regard to his educational qualification.
Aravind, who hit the national headlines by defeating Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter Kalvakuntla Kavitha in the last year’s Lok Sabha elections, is understood to have filed a false affidavit before the EC with regard to his educational qualifications.
According to the election affidavit, Aravind claimed that he was a post-graduate in political science from Janardhan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth in Udaipur in Rajasthan. He claimed that he had passed out from the university in distant mode in 2018.
However, an RTI petition filed by TRS leader Manne Krishank, son-in-law of former Union minister and senior Congress leader Sarvey Satyanarayana, revealed that Aravind had not studied the MA (political science) course at the said university at all.
The university director clarified in his reply to Krishank recently that Aravind, son of Rajya Sabha member D Srinivas, was not a MA (political science) passed-out student from Janardhan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth and he had not even enrolled as a student in the course at all.
This was brought to the notice of the Election Commission and also Prime Minister Narendra Modi by a TRS leader Y Satish Reddy, who demanded that the EC should take action against the BJP MP.
“He submitted nomination papers with wrong and false information. This is not tolerable and he is not eligible to sit in Parliament,” Reddy said, demanding disqualification of Aravind as an MP.
